Toys & Games | Multiple Squeaker Toys

The first thing to say is that finding toys to keep Maisie entertained can be difficult, the one toy that she loves just as much as squeaky balls is the multiple squeaker toy dog, I'm not sure of its name but you can find similar ones at pets at home. Like a lot of terriers Maisie loves play with squeaky toys but they never seem to last very long, she will literally not stop playing with it until it stops squeaky which can get very annoying, she has even heard a dog toy squeak on TV and come to find it which is quite cute to watch. So we bought her a multi squeaker toy in hopes it would last longer than a day and surprisingly it has.

So more about the toy, it contains 6 squeakers which meant it took Maisie about a week to kill them but some she still hasn't burst yet,  they still make a noise which means that she will still play with it. 

I think this brings out her terrier instinct the most as she can shake it which does look like she is trying to kill it, she thinks it's a mouse now unlike our old Westie she hasn't kill any of them as far as we know (bonus). Okay so that is Maisie opinion.

Now mine, from an owners point of view I love this toy it has no stuffing so she can't eat it which she does with plush toys and I am constantly stitching them back together as I can't look at her little face when you take it off her, so  i do a lot of toy surgery and Maisie tries to help by trying to steal it. 

You can also get these with more or less squeakers the biggest one I have seen has 32 squeakers that is available on amazon which could end up being Maisie Christmas present but pets at home do some of these toys, I have left a link down blow if you what to check them out.

Also any recommendations for toys would be great.

Toys & Games | Chomp and Chase Field Disk

By fluke of chance when mum and I were toy shopping for Poppy in TK Maxx we found the strangest of toys, an orange rubber disk, that looks a little bit like a discus with a squeaker in the middle. We didn't think much of it at the time, but when we saw it there it was only £3.99, and we took a chance. She needed new toys so we bought.

It turns out this Chomp N Chase Filed Disk is quite possibly the best dog toy we have ever came across, and nobody in our family can understand why. But its a pretty awesome toy, it bounces, rolls and floats, responding to the surfaces it lands on, and its soft rubber and thin shape seems to be nicer for Poppy to hold than average toys like tennis balls and bone shaped throw toys. But, even better this thing seems damned near indestructible. Poppy is amazing for destroying toys, even "indestructible" toys for Rottweilers and this toy has lived strong while others and newer toys have fallen by the wayside. The squeaker still lives and the material is hardly worn.

Poppy verry happily playing her own game with the toy, we are still yet to understand
the "rules" of this game other than that dad is not permitted to join in. 

The adoration Poppy has for this toy is beyond comprehension, its the only toy that she will actively hunt out if we store it in the porch, the only toy that she will play with constantly for the entire walk and not grow bored of for a single second. The look of joy and adoration when you pull it out on a walk is heartwarming. It is pure unadulterated joy when she sees this toy. We werent able to find a second one in the UK so actually went so far as to get a relative in the states to bring one over when he visited because we are so concerned about if we lost it that we needed a spare.

And, that in itself is the only downside of this toy. It isnt available easily in the UK there are a lot of US sites such as amazon and Caitec (the cheapest Ive seen it). Its frustrating because it is such an amazing toy and there is nothing like it in the UK market. We still try to keep an eye out in TK Maxx but until then we are stuck with ordering them from the states and paying the whopping postage and packaging charges. But she is worth it purely for that joy. They seem to range from $7-13 USA readers certainly need to pick one up!
